Always on top of whats trending

Teenagers are no strangers to fashion, social trends, or the newest tips and tricks to help them out with daily teen living. It makes sense then that there would be magazines made just for the budding youth of society with their own specific problems and perspectives. What is important to a teenager is often not at the top of most adults’ priority lists, which is why it is good that these spaces exist for teenagers to feel like they are understood and accepted. In recent years, some of the magazines geared towards teens have started writing serious articles about the state of American society (good and bad), ways to deal with serious issue topics, and even politics.

Teen Vogue

One of the forerunners in teen magazines that also provides thought-provoking articles and information is Teen Vogue. The Vogue offshoot has more recently made a name for itself because of its high-quality writing and relevant articles to the current social and political climates in the United States. Teenagers (mainly teen girls) are being exposed to concepts and ideas to help them learn to think critically about the world. It is more than a fashion magazine, though it still has many pages dedicated to the trendiest styles amongst young people today. And the magazine does have its fair share of more light-hearted articles, usually about prom, fun social trends, celebrities, dating, and more.

Seventeen

Seventeen is another top magazine that is popular amongst teenage girls. Most of its content is in a fun-loving format that can easily be consumed by young women. The articles and pages in this top magazine tend to revolve around the dating scene, celebrities, Q&A’s about teen girl and women’s issues, and fun activity pages where girls can fill out quizzes to see fun results about their personalities, likes, or even the type of celebrity Prince Charming they could have. At the back of the magazine is a horoscope section, which is a very popular topic for teenage girls, and it always provides a little prediction blurb about their upcoming fortune, life problem areas, and even love life.

Boy’s Life

Not all teen magazines are for girls, though. A top teen magazine called Boy’s Life is the official magazine of the Boy Scouts. It is aimed towards young boys all the way up to age 18. The magazine has many articles about things relevant to the life of a boy scout, but it also includes information that the general teen boy can relate to. Sometimes there are articles about health and fitness, fun quizzes, and even comics. Teen Ink is also a magazine that isn’t girls-only, as it is written and produced for and by teenagers in a tabloid style of writing. It is known for having a large poetry section in each of its magazines.

It is safe to say that for as long as magazines—digital and print—stick around, there will always be a spot for the ones geared towards youth culture. That is why so many are top magazines and known names in many households.
